The Lower Manhattan trailer reveals several of the landmarks that players will encounter as they move throughout the city, including the Alchemax building, the Statue of Liberty, and even a gold statue of Jeff the Shark. After the trailer ends, however, there’s a surprise, as you see The Hood’s cloak hovering in a glass case, just waiting to be unleashed. The shot hovers there for a while, so it would certainly seem that the MCU villain is headed to Marvel Rivals sooner rather than later, and if he does make his debut, he could be a game-changer.
What Would The Hood Bring To Marvel Rivals
The Hood is a lower-level criminal and is having a rather rough go of it when he ends up unknowingly stealing the belongings of a demon, though he soon realizes that wearing the boots and hood he stole bestows him with powerful abilities. It is soon learned that these powers are derived from the powerful Lord of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu, which is why he is a threat to even the most powerful of Marvel heroes.
The Hood can summon twin pistols and then channel that power through them, firing magical bullets that can pierce just about anything and do major damage to even the strongest of heroes. He also has the ability to levitate and turn invisible, and the longer he wears the hood, the more skilled with his abilities he becomes. He can even assume the form of the demon he stole the items from in extreme cases, but that doesn’t happen all that often.
